March 24, 2020 - Wasatch Hollow and Open Space Journal

We have passed through the spring equinox and today - the day length goes from 7:23 am to 7:44 pm
or 12 hours, 21 minutes of sunlight. The sun at 44.4 degrees altitude and climbing higher each day. Plenty of signs of new growth from the soil that is warming up, but this week the temps will be a bit colder with rain and possibility of light snow.

The creek is running high and somewhat silty with runoff from soil and debris.

I was able to observe Cooper's Hawk(s) in the area and Mule Deer (3 of them) along the creek-side.

I have noticed more people walking the trails in the "Hollow" and perhaps this is due to the experience
of "getting out of the house" more - given thew Covid-19 virus - and the need for social distancing and the need to be active and outdoors. It is good people can enjoy nature and the nature preserve - in these times.
